Thieves steal car from driveway in St Georges
Police in Telford are investigating after a car was stolen off the drive at a property in St Georges.
The theft occurred at an address on London Road sometime between 9.30pm on Wednesday 23 January and 4.30am on Thursday 24 January.
At around 9.30pm the owner of the car - a Y registered, green Jaguar S Type Sport - went to bed having parked it on the drive earlier in the evening.
The following morning, when he woke up at around 4.30am, the man looked out of the window and discovered that the car had gone. He had heard nothing suspicious in the night and has only one key for the car which was still in his possession.
A police spokesman said: "This is an unusual incident as there is no sign of forced entry to the vehicle and at this stage no obvious way of knowing how the thieves broke into the car to allow them to steal it.
"Police are very keen to hear from anyone who may be able to shed some light on this incident, and are also keen to hear from anyone who knows where the stolen car can now be found.
"The stolen car is worth around £2500 but it is quite unique as it has a sports body kit fitted and has £600 worth of new tyres on it. There was also a brand new car parked on the drive but it appears this car has not been touched.
"Anyone with information about this incident, especially anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in this part of St Georges on the night in question, is asked to contact police officers in Telford on 101 or 0300 333 3000, quoting incident number 50S 240113.
"Alternatively, please remember Crimestoppers can also be called anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you'd rather leave information without identifying yourself."
